Children often wonder, "What snails, ants and other creatures in the wild eat?"

This book is an innovative method of teaching children about animal diet. Mouse sets off to see the world. As he travels through the jungle he meets several animals and asks them to join him. But they do not want to travel with him as they are busy looking for food.

"What do they eat?" Read the book to find the answers.

Little snippets of information interspersed within the illustrations are almost calling out to the child, 'Read Me!'

The lively colours and a lot of background detail along with well defined characters in the Illustrations are an added bonus and are bound to attract and engage the child.

A must have for every school library and home.
